Three suspects arrested in Tiger Shroff firing case in Kota

Rajasthan Police arrested three suspects aboard the Pune–Jaipur Express in Kota on Monday after receiving information from Mumbai Police. The suspects were allegedly trying to flee to Nepal via Delhi following the firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff.

Police identified the accused as 18-year-old Rehan alias Sukka from Sonipat in Haryana, 22-year-old Hritik Kurmi alias Roshan from Begusarai in Bihar, and a 17-year-old minor from Haryana. Rehan and Hritik are suspected of being hired shooters, while the minor is reportedly suspected of helping the others escape after the attack.

“We received information this morning that the three primary suspects involved in the firing were travelling by train and were expected to arrive in Kota. Our team set a trap within 15 minutes and searched the entire train.”

The attack took place on the evening of 18 October 2026 in Mumbai’s Juhu area as Shroff was leaving a football ground. Three men on motorcycles arrived, and two allegedly opened fire on the actor’s car before fleeing. Shroff escaped unhurt, but his driver and another person were injured.

Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch is investigating the case. Investigators used CCTV footage, technical analysis and ground-level inquiries to trace the suspects’ movements from Andheri West railway station to northern Mumbai and then Surat before learning they had boarded the train.

Mumbai Police later clarified that all three arrested suspects are adults, contradicting initial reports that one was 17 years old. Police said they set a trap within 15 minutes of receiving the information and searched the entire train.
